-dss maintains hardlink-based snapshots of a given directory on a
-remote or local host using rsync's link-dest feature. The snapshots
-are organized so that any snapshot can directly be deployed as an
-(emergency) replacement for the primary system.
-
-dss is admin friendly: It is easy to configure and needs little
-attention after the initial setup. In particular, no full, incremental
-or differential backups need to be configured, and there is no database
-to maintain. dss is also user-friendly: Assuming the snapshot server
-allows read-only user access over the network, users can restore
-accidentically removed files without admin intervention, using their
-favorite file browser to copy files from the snapshot directory back
-to the primary system.
-
-dss keeps track of the age and the state of existing snapshots and
-triggers snapshot creation and removal according to the configuration
-settings. It tries to maintain a scheme where many recent snapshots
-and few old snapshots exist, for example 16 snapshots newer than a
-week, 8 snapshots between one and two weeks old, 4 snapshots between
-two and three weeks old, and so on.
